[#0000FF]Just as with wipers and walleyes, the trout will hit flies trolled at different speeds on different days...or even on the same day. But once you find what works best...why change?
A lot of us tubers and tooners drag flies around slowly...at fin-kicking speed. Others troll with an electric motor at anything from all ahead dead slow to top speed on the electric. I do well on Jordanelle with a partially filled bubble and fly rig...or with a jig and fly combo...with the jig providing the weight to get the fly to the desired depth. You just regulate the length of line and the speed to keep the fly at the right depth.
When the trout move back toward the top and are aggressively feeding up before winter they tend to hit faster moving stuff. But during the heat of summer you gotta get down deep and move slow.
By the way, in the spirit of Halloween, black and orange combos work good on many lakes in the late fall. See pics...one from Jordanelle and one from Huntington (Mammoth)
